Most people know Dandelion to be that nasty weed that you pluck from your lawn. What many people don’t realize is that it has many useful properties and for over 1000 years it has been used as an effective herbal medicine. Dandelion is rich in vitamin complexes and contains choline, one of the B-complex vitamins and a main component of lecithin. The leaves are high in potassium and the roots include vitamins A and C, and essential linolenic acid.

Dandelion has been popular for centuries in China, Europe and Native American cultures. Residents of the Spanish island, Minorca, subsisted on nothing but Dandelion when the rest of their harvest was destroyed.

Since ancient times, Chinese doctors and India’s Ayurvedic physicians have used Dandelion as a treatment for a variety of conditions including; colds, bronchitis, obesity hepatitis and certain types of ulcers.

Modern herbalists suggest Dandelion’s use for many conditions. Due to its diuretic properties and its ability to eliminate excess water and salt, Dandelion is used for losing weight and for relief from premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In addition, it is used to help treat certain illnesses of the liver and kidney, ease digestion and may help treat high blood pressure. *
